If you need a superb crowning dish for an upcoming event - or if you just like lamb - check out this video to learn how to prepare a delicious rosemary garlic braised lamb with Farro.

Rosemary, garlic, crushed red pepper, anchovy fillets and preserved lemon flavor slow-cooked lamb shanks. Antonio Bettencourt of 62 Restaurant & Wine Bar in Salem, MA, offers the true meaning of fall-off-the-bone tender in a dish accompanied by farro, a high-protein grain that he prepares with carrots, onions and celery. Classic yet innovative and definitely delicious, this presentation is a perfect dinner for two garnished with a vibrant salsa verde of parsley, capers and shallots.
